Confidence & Competence with Teddy

In this episode of "Breaking the Binary," we chat Confidence and competence with Teddy. Teddy’s background is diverse, covering multiple roles at a fast-paced privately owned SaaS company in Newcastle. The article that’s the foundation of this discussion is ‘Why do so many incompetent men become leaders?’ By Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic, published in 2013. We discuss what makes someone competent and how gender actually influences your perceived competence. We talk about the balance between self promotion and being authentic. The benefits of an equal society are brushed on, how Teddy looks for mentors, or decides it’s time to move on and leading to your values. We hope you find this episode interesting, we can’t wait to hear your thoughts.
